I can't answer for Microsoft's implementation, but you should have no
trouble implementing DNSSEC running BIND on Windows. You would probably
have to upgrade to Windows 2008 to get full DNSSEC support though I
haven't read the docs on Windows 2008. You should contact Microsoft or
one of their forums for a proper answer since this is the BIND newsgroup.
